Domineering Man of the Star Queen

Seeing the questioning looks on the faces of several people, Mr. Zhou continued to explain.

"The surface cave we saw just now is only the ground part of the entire cave. I'm afraid it's less than half of the entire cave area. The rest of the cave is underground."

"Due to geological changes, a layer of natural stalactites is formed between the surface cave and the underground cave. This barrier increases with the existence of the cave. The underground part of the cave, due to the perennial The impact of the underground river water is sinking more and more, which has caused a huge drop between the surface karst cave and the underground karst cave, and this drop has created the cliff under our feet."

In other words, the cave is divided into two parts, the ground and the ground, by the stalactite compartment. The place where the few people are located is the suspended above-ground part made of stalactites, and the underground river is another branch of the cave.

"Then, Mr. Zhou, is the compartment of the stalactite solid?!"

Looking worriedly at the crystal clear stalactite compartment under her feet, Ping Jian asked profusely with sweat.

Compared with the real land, it is conceivable how solid the stalactites are.Knowing that there is a cliff at the foot of the mountain, once she falls down, not to mention that her body will be broken to pieces, she will be swallowed by the cold underground river in an instant, and Ping Jian can't help but feel frightened.

Unexpectedly, upon hearing Ping Jian's question, Mr. Zhou actually laughed.

"Don't worry. This layer of stalactites has been formed for tens of thousands of years. I am afraid that it began to grow as early as the formation of this Z-class planet. With the expansion of the cave, the stalactite layer is also constantly strengthening. It has been tens of thousands of years, so it should not be a problem at all to bear the weight of the few of us."

Seeing that Ping Jian still looked worried, Elder Zhou joked, "Besides, the icicle just came out of this cave, so can we still be heavier than that icicle?"

The ice slug just now was more than 200 meters long, 20 meters thick, and at least twenty to thirty tons. It rushed out of the cave roaring, and it did not fall into the underground river.

Thinking of this, Ping Jian finally scratched her head in embarrassment, with a shy smile on her face.

He is not afraid of the sky or the earth, and his only weakness is his fear of heights.

Thinking that this stalactite [floor] should be fine, Ping Jian's hanging heart gradually let go.

"In that case, it's no wonder that the deeper you go into the cave, the louder the sound of the water flowing."

Listening to Mr. Zhou's explanation, at this moment, Lin Shu, who had been looking at the surrounding environment, said thoughtfully.

From the moment they entered the cave, they could clearly hear the sound of water flow, and the deeper they went into the cave, the more obvious the sound of water flow became.

At first, a few people thought it was an illusion caused by the echo in the cave amplifying the flowing water in the nearby cold pool several times, but now it seems that the sound of flowing water is clearly the flowing water of an underground underground river.

"Yes, since the cave has such a structure, it makes sense that the sound of water flow can be heard outside the cave." Nodding, Elder Zhou said.

Looking around at this strange space formed by natural stalactites, Yunfeng's face did not reveal the emotions shown by other people.

Indeed, to be able to form such ingenious and fairyland-like karst caves in this dark bird-singing forest is enough to show the creator's Zhong Min's magic, but compared to this one by one "What's the matter, Luo." Looking at Luo Yuan who had become extremely silent since entering this cave, Yunfeng asked.

"It's nothing."

Shaking his head, Luo Yuan said.

He frowned and looked at the strange structure inside the cave. Since entering the cave, the strange feeling in Luo Yuan's heart became more and more intense.

The feeling of being firmly pressed against the chest by something forced Luo Yuan to secretly adjust his breath to suppress it, especially after entering this area, which is considered the core of the cave, the feeling of depression was overwhelming. It's even more obvious.

"Are you okay?" Seeing Luo Yuan's expression changed, Yun Feng asked.

"fine."

While answering Yunfeng, Luo Yuan couldn't help thinking, where did this strong sense of depression come from?

Closing his eyes, Luo Yuan felt the source of that oppressive feeling, and tried his best to capture the slightest feeling in his mind.

Guided by that feeling, Luo Yuan turned his head to the other side that few people hadn't noticed, and opened his eyes.

As far as the eye can see, it is also dark, and nothing special is found.

Turning on the flashlight in his hand, Luo Yuan shines on the darkness in the distance, and a colorful shadow is imprinted in Luo Yuan's eyes.

"Look." Pointing at the shadow, Luo Yuan said.

Hearing this, several people turned their heads and looked at the shadow Luo Yuan was pointing at.

Because the distance was too far apart, under the weak light of the flashlight, only the outline of the object could be seen. Soon, several people turned on the flashlights in their hands and aimed at the object with all their strength.

"This is……"

"This thing turned out to be..."

Looking at the things illuminated by several flashlights in disbelief, I saw a shadow in the distance, which turned out to be a bridge.

The bridge is arched, one side is connected to the stalactite ground where several people are standing, and the other side extends into the darkness that can't see the edge at all.

I don't know what kind of texture the bridge is made of. In the white snow of Tongxiu, streamers are overflowing, and under the light of the torch, there are even colorful streamers flashing from time to time, suddenly appearing in the darkness. It looks beautiful and mysterious.

"Why is there a bridge here?"

Looking at each other in dismay, several people saw puzzlement in each other's eyes.

If their predictions are correct, they are probably the first people to come here in hundreds of years.

Because it takes hundreds of years for a Bingling to grow into an adult, Bingling is a kind of magical beast that is suspicious and dislikes moving its nest unless it is absolutely necessary, which rules out the fact that Bingling is a latecomer.A few people can infer that no one should have been here before them.

However, since no one has been here before, how could there be an extra bridge out of thin air?

"Let's go and have a look." Elder Zhou said in a low voice.

Approaching the bridge, several people discovered that the bridge was not built by man, but formed naturally.

It turned out that the stalactite ground was torn apart for some unknown reason, forming a natural canyon more than 50 meters long. One side of the bridge connected the stalactite ground on this side, and the other side connected to the torn ground on the other side. .

I don't know what kind of material this bridge is made of, but it's wide at both ends and narrow in the middle. Even the narrowest part in the middle of the bridge can only allow one person to pass through. Under the bridge are bottomless cliffs and dark rivers.

This bridge can be described as a natural [natural danger].

"Everyone, look at the other side!"

At this moment, Plain Jane's excited voice suddenly sounded.

Following the light of the flashlight in Ping Jian's hand, he looked across the bridge, and saw that the bridge connected to the other side was not another piece of ground as they had imagined at first, but a round stalactite with a diameter of about [-] meters.

This circular stalactite forms a natural platform. On the platform, two small [pillars] are formed by two dark purple sharp stalactites. Stone crystal small platform.

On the small stone crystal platform, there are various crystal clusters with bright colors. Among these crystal clusters, the most eye-catching one is probably the ice blue one located in the center of the crystal cluster, which is more than 30 centimeters long and as thick as an arm. Sword-shaped ore.

"This, this is the ice iron ore!!"

Seeing the arm-thick ice-blue ore clearly, Mr. Zhou said loudly, dancing with excitement.

That's right.

The ice-blue sword-shaped ore in the center of the crystal cluster is the ice iron ore. Not only that, the color and shape of this ice ore iron are exactly the same as those in the illustrated book.

"It's really ice iron ore!" Unexpectedly, there is nowhere to find it after wearing iron shoes, and it will take no effort to get it. Looking at the ice ore iron sitting in the center of the crystal cluster with excitement, Jian Jian was so happy He spoke incoherently.

The ice ore iron only grows an inch in a thousand years. It can be as thick as a child's arm and more than 30 centimeters long. One can imagine how many years it has grown.What's more, ordinary ice ore iron only has the color of iron, which is very inconspicuous. Only the ice ore iron that absorbs the essence of Yin veins and becomes the parent mine will show a beautiful and rare ice blue color.

"Hehe, I didn't expect that the cold ice ore is really deep in the cave." Lin Shu said with a smile, which was rarely happy.

"Yes, Pingjian, hurry up and get ready, let's go and have a look!"

Now that they have found the real ice ore, there is no reason not to pass this dangerous bridge, Mr. Zhou hurriedly said.

"Yes Yes."

"Master, Master Luo, look, that's the ice ore, we found the ice ore!" After giving the simple instructions, Elder Zhou turned around excitedly and said to Yunfeng and Luo Yuan.

Looking at the unusually eye-catching piece of cold iron ore on the opposite side, Yunfeng didn't say anything, but Luo Yuan said indifferently, "...um."

Although the piece of ice ore iron was almost exactly the same as what he saw in the book in his previous life, it could even be said that it grew completely according to the mold in the book.

but……

I successfully found the cave on the map, discovered this fascinating world from the cave, and then saw the ice and iron on the other side of the bridge.

Is all of this too coincidental and too smooth?

"What's the matter, Young Master Luo?" Seeing that Luo Yuan was absent-minded, not as excited as if he had found the ice iron mine at all, Elder Zhou couldn't help asking strangely.

He remembered that this young master Luo was very interested in the ice iron ore at the beginning, and even made a request of "as long as he finds the ice iron ore, no matter how much it is, give him a quarter of it".

Such a person who is obviously very interested in the ice iron ore, why is there no excitement after seeing the ice iron ore?

"It's nothing."

Looking at the ice ore on the other side of the bridge, in the final analysis, the doubts just now were just the feelings in Luo Yuan's heart, and there was no evidence to prove it.

Seeing that there was no danger around him, he shook his head, Luo Yuan did not dampen the interest of Mr. Zhou and the others.

"Old Zhou, the rope is ready!" At this moment, a plain and simple voice came happily.

"Okay, we're ready to cross the bridge!"

He quickly put Luo Yuan's strange reaction behind him, Mr. Zhou said excitedly.

Although this naturally formed bridge is only 50 meters, the 50 meters is no less than 5000 meters, because every step on the bridge, there is a feeling of being blown off the cliff by the biting cold wind blowing from the canyons on both sides. .

Moreover, the material of this bridge is neither stone nor jade, and the surface is extremely smooth. If you don't pay attention, there is a danger of slipping and falling off the cliff.

But because they couldn't figure out the material of the bridge, and the bridge was the only way to and from the canyon, so a few people didn't dare to wear [spikes] to increase friction when walking on smooth ground, for fear Accidentally, the bridge collapsed.

As the pathfinder of the whole team, Ping Jian was the first to cross the bridge.

Tie one end of the long rope to an unusually thick stalactite, and the other end to his own waist. Ping Jian did not dare to look at the bottomless cliffs on both sides, but only dared to stare at the bridge under his feet. , carefully moved his feet step by step, moving towards the opposite side of the bridge little by little.

When passing the narrowest part of the bridge deck, Ping Jian almost had to turn his body sideways to barely pass the bridge deck that was so narrow that only one foot could walk on it.

Although the other four people stood on one side and did not cross the bridge with Pingjian, when they watched Pingjian pass the narrowest part of the bridge deck, they all held their breath and concentrated, not even daring to breathe out, for fear of disturbing Pingjian arrive.

In a short distance of 50 meters, Pingjian walked for more than 40 minutes before finally reaching the other side. Seeing Pingjian smiling and waving at them, Mr. Zhou finally breathed a sigh of relief.
